Will your dealer price match or offer a CCA discount? Some will.

My car's apparently not starting and sounds like the battery is the culprit (10 years old). It currently has a Duralast Gold 94R-DLG from Autozone.

What battery are people buying for a replacement battery these days?

I get the biggest Interstate from Costco that will fit - H7 or H8. I've run Walmart, Advance Auto or Autozone units in the past. There are only ~3 companies making all of our batteries.

Thanks folks! My Duralast Gold 94R-DLG from Autozone that I put in my car on 12/03/15 finally kicked the bucket from the sounds of it. I think I'll go with another H7, but this time from Interstate and an AGM

Yes. I checked one part (silver cube, left panel) in realoem. It includes sedan, coupe, touring, and vert.
